And we went on a date last night and dinner was at eight and we didn't leave the restaurant until like 1 a.m. And we were just having a conversation. And just the time just went. We were just having a conversation. The time just went. We were just having a conversation. It was a good conversation.
Starting point is 00:04:28 But it was in the city, so I didn't get home until like 2 a.m. And now? And now I'm tired as hell. It's like hosting a party. It's like hosting a party, right. You know, same thing. You're drinking. You're having a good time.
Starting point is 00:04:39 You're talking. We're dancing. And the next thing I know, it's late as hell. I'm like, I've got to go to work in the morning. Well, I did this panel yesterday called Winning Plays with Stacey Tisdale. She's been on The Breakfast Club before. She's an award-winning journalist that teaches about finances.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And it was exciting because I got to meet Gloria Steinem. Okay. Iconic feminist. It was about black feminism. So it was a great night.

The Griot.com, the panel of all the women.
Starting point is 00:05:12 One woman was on there talking about how she, her name is Grace. She became a financial planner. But she actually was living in a homeless shelter while she was going to school. And managed to get her degree and everything. Wow. Nice. Can't wait to see that. I can see that way on griot.com, you said?
Starting point is 00:05:29 Yes. Spell it for the people. G-R-I-O? G-R-I-O. Okay. Just making sure. All right. Now, today on the show, Karen Civil will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Hey, Karen. Now, for people who don't know Karen Civil, explain to the people who Karen Civil is. How do you explain Karen Civil? She does a little bit of everything. She's from Elizabethan, Jersey. She does a lot of branding. She has her own branding company. She started off as an intern and worked her way up.
Starting point is 00:05:49 She's worked with Young Money Cash Money. She's worked with Beats by Dre. She's worked with Louis Vuitton. She's really doing her thing out there. With Dipset. I'm really happy for her. I actually met Karen back then when I was at Sirius, and she was a young lady working for Dipset and then
Starting point is 00:06:05 working for Young Money Cash Money. Very early on in her career. Alright, so we'll kick it with Karen Silva a little bit later. And we got front page news. What are we talking about? We are talking about this travel ban. Donald Trump is looking at this as a win because he got some success with this travel ban he's been trying to get through.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Alright, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. Wake your ass up. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, last night was the NBA Awards.
Starting point is 00:06:34 It was hosted by Drake. And the NBA Most Valuable Player, MVP, goes to Russell Westbrook. I ain't gonna lie. That awards team match stale once you do it after the season is all the way over. Didn't they used to do it during the season at one point? Did they?
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah, like during the finals at least. Yeah, during the playoffs. During the playoffs. Yeah, it just seemed mad stale at the end of the year. You don't forget what Russell Westbrook did. Nah, you don't forget what he did. I mean, he averaged a triple-double. But when was the last time you mentioned that?
Starting point is 00:06:59 Before last night. I mean, the season's over now. Exactly. My point exactly. Now let's talk about, we got audio? Let's hear audio of him thanking his parents. I can't say's over now. Exactly. My point exactly. Now let's talk about, we got audio? All right, let's hear audio of him thanking his parents. I can't say thank you enough. You guys sacrificed everything you've done in your life.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Pops, OG, working two jobs, getting up at 4 in the morning, waking me up every night, going to the gym, shooting hoops outside, staying up late, playing the video games, man. To my mom from doing everything to keep our family together. Truly, truly blessed to have you as my mother. It's just so amazing. I couldn't be able to do none of this without you guys.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Dope. Absolutely dope. Now let's get into your president, Yee. Yes, your president. The Supreme Court has allowed a little watered-down version of the travel ban to take effect for now. They're going to have to revisit this in October. And what they have said is the people from the six countries that President Trump has listed for the travel ban can only travel to the United States if they possess a bona fide relationship with the U.S. Now, what does that exactly mean?
Starting point is 00:08:01 Definitely going to cause some confusion at the airport. But what they are saying, for example, if you're a student or a lecturer and you have a formal relationship, that would count as a bona fide relationship. If you are somebody who has accepted employment with an American company, that would count. But it wouldn't apply to somebody who
Starting point is 00:08:19 enters into a relationship simply to avoid the executive order. So you can't just go to a non-profit group that is devoted to immigration issues and then say, yes, I have a relationship simply to avoid the executive order. So you can't just go to a nonprofit group that is devoted to immigration issues and then say, yes, I have a relationship just to establish that. It's going to be confusing. That's beyond confusing. Facebook don't even got that. Yeah, I can't even imagine how you can determine.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Facebook got single, married, complicated, not a bona fide relationship. How do you prove that? What kind of bona fide relationship is the United States? Right now they're saying refugees being resettled in the U.S. and visa holders will not be impacted by this, but we shall see. Now, Donald Trump tweeted out, Great day for America's future security
Starting point is 00:08:53 and safety, courtesy of the U.S. Supreme Court. I will keep fighting for the American people and win. Goodness gracious. I'm confused. I don't even... Bona fide relationship, that actually is just complicated on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:09:04 It basically allows them to make whatever decision they choose to make. That they want to make, yeah, absolutely. Now, what else we got front page news? We'll talk about Philando Castile's family. They have reached a $3 million settlement, and that is with the city. The settlement came after the officer was acquitted of second-degree manslaughter. Sheesh. That's whack.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I mean, I can never congratulate the families on getting that money because it's blood money at the end of the day. And I know they would much rather have Philando Castile back than have $3 million. So it's not even one of those things where you can be like, yeah, congratulations to the family.
Starting point is 00:09:38 No. Not at all. All right. That's a terrible consolation prize. You know, once your loved one gets killed at the hands of the police. Absolutely. All right. Well, let terrible consolation prize. News. You know, once your loved one gets killed at the hands of the police. Absolutely. All right.

Starting point is 00:10:14 So you better have the same energy. Ashley. Yes. What's going down in Kentucky, mama? Well, I almost stole my engagement ring. Well, I wouldn't say, well, I took it off. You stole her what? Engagement ring.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Oh. My engagement ring. So I have a real bad habit because I work in the health field, so I wash my hands constantly. And I was in the mall, and I went to the restroom, and I washed my hands, and I took it off. And it was about 15 minutes I noticed that I didn't have it
Starting point is 00:10:49 so I go back and it's like super gone. Did your boyfriend believe you when you told him that lie? Yeah, he did. He's like I mean, we went to the washroom we went everywhere, no one turned it in and I feel so bad because I make more money than him.
Starting point is 00:11:06 So it was kind of hard for him to even, like, save up and get it. So I feel really bad. And I don't want to make him feel, like, even worse by, like, going and replacing it. First of all, you should not make him go replace it because you lost it. That's your bad. All right? Y'all should work together to replace it. So you just need to be, you gotta be ringless
Starting point is 00:11:26 on wedding day. No! Like, we have to take pictures. I need it. No, no, no. But y'all lost it together so y'all gotta get, I mean, y'all gotta fix it together. Unless what you do is you go get a fake one and nobody will know the difference. Yeah, just get a fake one until you get the real one again. There you go. For the pictures. Oh, that's horrible.
Starting point is 00:11:42 That is horrible. That just means you got a fake relationship. You can't fake it till you make it when it comes to an engagement. I mean, can you get the real ring again? Can you guys afford to do that? Right. I can go get it. Like, I want to go get it.
Starting point is 00:11:55 And he's like, no, I just work to go get it. And I'm like, I don't really want him to have to do that. Because I feel bad for him. Y'all in this together, mama. Everything is together now. Y'all lost it together. Y'all have to get it together. Y'all have to get it together. Y'all have to fake it together.
Starting point is 00:12:06 I think you cheated on them. I think you cheated on them and you took your wedding ring off while you was cheating. I'm going to be totally honest with you. No, we was at the mall together. You went into the bathroom to get a little quickie with the guy that work at Auntie Annie's. Oh, my goodness. Thank you. Kevin.

Starting point is 00:14:50 This is Malik. Salaam. Charlotte, man. Good morning. I'm a little pissed, man, because I read the settlement for the Castile case, and it seems as if we live in a country that would rather pay millions of dollars in settlement money than to convict a cop murder.
Starting point is 00:15:08 That's what it feels like. It's outlandish. Let me kill your son for a million dollars. Yeah, this is outlandish. I mean, they would rather give money than to actually admit to wrongdoing. And they fired the cop.
Starting point is 00:15:22 They fired the cop. They gave him $10 million. He no longer works as a cop in Minnesota wrongdoing. And they fired the cop. They fired the cop. They gave him $10 million. He no longer works as a cop in Minnesota at all, but that does not rectify the real issue and the problem here. I get you. I agree, brother. You're absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:15:35 That money is like pacifying people. It's like, oh, okay, at least they got a settlement. It's blood money. It's blood money. It is what it is. Even with all the Muslims out there. y'all take care, man. All right, bro. All right, my brother. All right, get it off your chest.

Yes, let's discuss the NBA awards from last night. You know Drake was hosting, and we got some of his jokes. Let's see if you laugh.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Get them back on your side, Kodak Black. My goodness. Well, let's get to back on your side, Kodak Black. My goodness. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk the NBA Awards. Listen up.
Starting point is 00:16:29 It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report.
Starting point is 00:16:36 The Breakfast Club. Well, the NBA Awards were last night. Did anybody in here watch them? Nope. I didn't. Oh, yeah, you were on a date night. I was on a date night last night, yep. All right, well, Drake was hosting, and he kept the show moving.
Starting point is 00:16:49 He had a lot of jokes throughout the night. He had a little back and forth with Kenny the Jet Smith. Now, here is what Kenny Smith said about Drake. That was great material by Drake, but we had a question. Did he write it? Drop on a clothesline for Kenny Smith, damn it. I don't got no problem with that whatsoever. Well, here is how Drake responded.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Kenny, somebody just told me about your writing joke backstage. It's wise words from the most expendable member of the TNT crew. Okay, that's a little standout. Is Kenny Smith the most expendable member from the TNT crew? I don't think none of them are really expendable, to be honest with you. It's a joke. You can replace Kenny. It was a comeback.
Starting point is 00:17:30 No, you could. You got Charles on one end, Shaq on one end, Ernie's the anchor. You can replace Kenny. It was a little stab. I'm sure it hurt. Drop one of the clues bombs for Drake. That was a nice little comeback. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Now, here is some of Drake's moments from the NBA Awards. Got Allen Iverson in here somewhere, probably on a super casual vibe, just connecting with some old friends, you know. Got the Brooklyn Nets in here trying to get verified on Instagram tonight. It's a lot of B-checks coming your way, boys, I promise. I'm legit excited for y'all. Draymond Green stopped kicking people in the groin and moved on to something much worse, his own podcast.
Starting point is 00:18:02 It's a tough listen. LeBron James recently went bald and social media had an absolute... Oh, sorry. This is a joke from 2007. We're gonna keep it. We're gonna keep it rolling. Eh, it was a little too fast. You could've slowed that down, paced it a little bit better. Well, yeah, that's what a lot of people were saying, that it was a little fast.
Starting point is 00:18:18 There was one joke in there I like, and I don't even remember because it was too fast. Oh, the Brooklyn Nets joke. That ain't even getting verified out. No net will ever be verified on social media. Oh, the Brooklyn Nets joke. That ain't even getting verified out. No net will ever be verified on social media. Well, as we said... D'Angelo Russell might be because he already verified
Starting point is 00:18:29 coming over from the Lakers. The most valuable player was Russell Westbrook, as we told you earlier. The defensive player of the year was Draymond Green. Coach of the year, Mike D'Antoni.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Yeah, so that's just some... What was Draymond Green wearing? Was that like a suit with shorts? I was confused. The man's a multimillionaire. It doesn't matter. Look at this outfit. I saw it with the little short shorts? I was confused. The man's a multimillionaire. Does it matter? Look at this outfit. I saw it with the little short pants.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Oh, my goodness. He's a multimillionaire. Does it matter? Now, the Best Style Award also went to Russell Westbrook as well. So you guys step it up. Mm-hmm. All right. Now, Leslie Jones, you know, she hosted the BET Awards.
Starting point is 00:18:59 By the way, what did you guys think about Leslie Jones as a host? I didn't see the BET Awards. I saw the BET Awards on Twitter and Instagram. I was on a flight. All right. Well, she is saying. JetBlue TV was out that night. Now that people should not stay at the Ritz-Carlton.
Starting point is 00:19:12 She said, wow, it was such a great night at the BET Awards, but then had the worst day at Ritz-Carlton. Do not stay there. They don't like black people. I don't know what happened in the Ritz-Carlton. But she said she stayed there and she didn't provide any further details. Her rep would not respond to a request for comment. And the Ritz-Carlton. But she said she stayed there and she didn't provide any further details. Her rep would not respond to a request for comment. And the Ritz-Carlton also responded via Twitter.
Starting point is 00:19:29 They said, we're sorry to hear this. We pride ourselves on providing excellent service to all. Please DM us and we'll look into this right away. Another person who had an issue and voiced it on Twitter was Kelly Asborn. She actually went at Starbucks. She said, shame on you at Starbucks. I pissed my own pants in this location because your shameful employees refused to let me use the toilet.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I have urine in my shoe. Which one was that? Which location? It's in Manhattan on 27th Street and 6th Avenue. I'm going to be honest with you. Don't be serious about that bathroom. Exactly. Don't blame the store just because you peed on yourself.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Blame your little loose bowels. All right? I'm not going to pee on myself just because the store won't let meed on yourself. Blame your little loose bowels, alright? I'm not going to pee on myself just because the store won't let me use the bathroom. I'm going to find another place to use the bathroom. But stores are serious. Usually you can go to McDonald's because they always let the bathroom open. But now, you got to get the key. The door is locked.
Starting point is 00:20:16 You got to buy something. Buy something. Buy you a little small green tea and give it to a homeless person if you don't want it. You really want to use the bathroom that bad? What if there's a line? I got to wait till I buy something to use the bathroom? I'll go right on somebody's tie outside. Pay to pee.
Starting point is 00:20:30 All you got to do is say, look, I'm about to buy me a green tea, but I got to pee in the meantime. Could you open the door, please? And then when you go in and pee, then you walk out and don't pay for the tea. I do it all the time. All right. I do it all the time. And it ain't even just the Starbucks. I do that to any store.
Starting point is 00:20:44 When I got to pee or something and they got them bathrooms that lock, I walk in and be like, yo, I'm going any store. When I got to pee or something, and they got them bathrooms that lock, I walk in and be like, yo, I'm going to order something. I got to pee real quick, though. You know, open the gate, boom. I'm not hungry again. Thank you. Have a nice day. Now, what about places that say, because I've read some people saying
Starting point is 00:20:56 that they don't have an actual restroom for the public use. Some stores have that, but it shouldn't be McDonald's or Starbucks. Those should definitely have bathrooms for public use. I think it also depends on the size. They said it's a small one. I don't know if they have one for the public or not, but all right. I'm not blaming me peeing on myself on no damn Starbucks, though. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report.
Starting point is 00:21:15 All right, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yeezy? We are going to be talking about the settlement for Philando Castile's family. Okay. All right, well, let's get into front page's family. Let's get into some front page news. Let's talk last night, the NBA Awards. Congratulations to Russell Westbrook.
Starting point is 00:21:30 He won the MVP honors. Let's hear his speech. I can't say thank you enough. You guys sacrificed everything you've done in your life. Pops, OG, working two jobs, getting up at four in the morning, waking me up every night, going to the gym,
Starting point is 00:21:45 shooting hoops outside, staying up late, playing the video games, man. To my mom from doing everything to keep our family together. Truly, truly blessed to have you as my mother. It's just so amazing. I couldn't be able to do none of this without you guys. You know why he started crying? Because he realized he got to go play in Oklahoma City for another year.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Okay. He also got best dressed. That would bring me to tears, too. And let's talk about your president, Donald Trump. Yes, Donald Trump. The travel ban. Here's what's going to happen. The Supreme Court has allowed for the people from the six countries listed in Donald Trump's travel ban
Starting point is 00:22:22 to only travel to the United States if they have a, quote, bona fide relationship with the U.S. Now, who is that? Of course, that is still going to be subject to interpretation. We don't know what could potentially happen. It sounds like a mess. But what they have said is these are the people who have that bona fide relationship, people with a close familial relationship to someone in the U.S., students that are going to a university in the United States, workers who have accepted an offer of employment from a company in the U.S., students that are going to a university in the United States, workers who have accepted an offer of employment from a company in the U.S., and lecturers who are invited to speak to an American audience. Right now, refugees being resettled in the U.S. and visa holders will not be impacted by this travel ban, and they're going to review this in October.
Starting point is 00:22:59 But right now, they are letting this limited version go into effect in the meantime. That's a new Facebook status. You got single, married, complicated, now bona fide relationships. What is bona fide relationships? You only have unprotected sex with people you're in a bona fide relationship with. That seems crazy. And that is definitely subject to interpretation. What's going to happen when you're at the airport and you might get turned away,
Starting point is 00:23:19 you might not, depending on what they decide at that time. You should only let somebody that you're in a bona fide relationship with toss your salad. Now, Donald Trump tweeted out, Great day for America's future security and safety. Courtesy of the U.S. Supreme Court, I will keep fighting for the American people and win. We had a couple abortions, but we're still in a bona fide relationship. Oh, goodness. What else are we talking about for patients? We had a couple abortions, and she knows I got a man, girl.
Starting point is 00:23:42 All right. Philando Castile, his mother, reached a nearly $3 million settlement with the city after the officer who fired the fatal shots, Yanez, was actually acquitted. So that's what they got. And just to put it into perspective, the family of Michael Brown, who was the unarmed black teenager killed by the police in 2014, reached a settlement with Ferguson, Missouri. Blood money. That was reported to be worth $ with Ferguson, Missouri. Blood money. That was reported to be worth $1.5 million. Blood money. Cleveland agreed to pay $6 million to Tamir Rice's
Starting point is 00:24:09 family. Blood money. And there was also a $6 million settlement in the fatal shooting of Dan Roy Henry Jr. in Pleasantville, New York. Blood money. I can't even feel, you know, happy for those families because that's a horrible, horrible consolation prize. Like, you lost a life, a whole life.
Starting point is 00:24:25 That's priceless. There's no price you can put on that. A whole flesh and blood individual just got gunned down for no reason, and you just throw a check at me and expect all my pain and misery to go away? It seems crazy. Come on, man. The cop got fired. The city obviously knows they were wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:39 They gave him $3 million, but he still was not convicted. I'm going to use this money for therapy. That's what I'm going to use this money for. I'm going to use this money for therapy for the rest of my'm going to use this money for. I'm going to use this money for therapy for the rest of my life. My goodness. All right. Last front page news. Now, when we come back, Karen Civil will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:24:52 KC, is it going to be Karen Civil or Karen Uncivil this morning? I guess we'll have to find out. Now, if you don't know who Karen Civil is, she started off, she's from New Jersey. She started off as an intern and really worked her ass off and worked her way up. Did she just get the key to the city? She got a key to Elizabethan Jersey. Now Karen does everything. Building playgrounds in Haiti.
Starting point is 00:25:11 All kind of stuff. All right, so we'll talk to her when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:25:20 We have a special guest in the building. I don't know if it's Karen Civil or Karen Uncivil, though. Which one are we talking to right now? Karen Civil. Welcome. Thank you. And congratulations. You got your own day in Jersey? We did official Live Civil Day which was really exciting.
Starting point is 00:25:35 I have a whole set up in Haiti. We have Live Civil Day in Brooklyn every year. It only made sense to bring it back to Elizabeth. It was a very fun-filled day and they surprised me with the key to the city. So you got three days in three different places around the world. Yes. Dropping the clues bombs for Karen's team.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Absolutely. Jesus Christ. Los Angeles next. Yeah, I'm excited. I see you on the cover of LA Weekly. Yes. How did this happen now? A Jersey girl on the cover of LA Weekly.
Starting point is 00:26:03 So interesting. They reached out to me. The young lady reached out to me and she was just like weird. They interview 50 people every year for their annual issue. So when she interviewed me, we did over the phone. And then they do these profile shots of you, usually like in your house or at work. So she's like, what do you want to do? And I'm like, well, I've been in Los Angeles the last six years and I've been
Starting point is 00:26:25 working with Nipsey, so I want to do it on Crenshaw. And she was like, okay, where? So I was like, yeah, let's do it at Nipsey's store. So when I pulled up, I'm like, just, you know, alluding that black girl magic. There you go. And I just pulled up in the middle of the
Starting point is 00:26:41 hood and they were like, all right. Okay. Did you pull up in your fandom? Yeah, definitely pulled up. the middle of the hood. And they were like, all right. Okay. Did you pull up in your Phantom? Yeah, definitely pulled up. It's a race. Oh, a race. My bad.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Car talk over here. Some type of spirit. Car talk over here. Yeah, I pulled up. And she was just like, with the crown on. And they were like, what the hell is going on? And, you know, it's's you know, mad urban area and I didn't even know.
Starting point is 00:27:08 The hood. Yeah, the hood. I was trying to say the hood. Karen had her corporate voice on just now. Urban area. And then we went to the donut shop. Like, I was just taking her to the most random places and then like maybe a month later, they tweeted out and she was like, I loved it so much. We gave you the cover.
Starting point is 00:27:24 That is dope. Now, what about people who say that you shouldn't be on there because you're not from L.A.? Well, I can't really like I can't worry about, you know, critics and what other people have to say, because at the end of the day, it's it was it's it's a blessing that happened. I was just generally being myself, having fun with it. And I was just like, listen, don't take it up with me. Get up with L.A. W just like, listen, don't take it up with me. Get up with LA Wiggly. They gave it to me. We got to talk about another picture we've seen you post
Starting point is 00:27:50 that was outside of the Karen Civil box. I know. That's Karen Uncivil. That's Karen Uncivil. You got people looking at you different, man. I've never heard guys, and this is the truth, I've never, even though I've always heard guys say you were pretty, I've never heard guys look at you in that sexual objectifying way.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I heard somebody say Karen got ass. No, I know it was. Or did they say heavy ass? Heavy ass. Karen has heavy ass. That's what I heard. I was like, huh? No, it was definitely, it was definitely.
Starting point is 00:28:17 What made you do that photo? Okay, it was definitely weird. So like every year I always take different photos. Like I have different theme photo shoots and stuff like that. And this year, my hair person, Phil on hair, we just was going through different creative, doing different shoots. And it's just like I did a few other viral videos that kind of like that kind of took off. People thought one was a Nicki video and things like that. We were just, you know, creating magic, creating certain things just about launching
Starting point is 00:28:45 his brand, just kind of re-imaging myself and certain things. We took that photo probably about a month and a half ago. He was like, yeah, let's just put it out. I'm like, let's do it. I mean, my council, my team was good, which is like, I call them my MMG. My mom,
Starting point is 00:29:02 my man, and God was cool. So I was just like, I'm putting it out. I'm cool. And it was just fun. What has the feedback been? How many celebrities are in your DMs trying to holler? It's crazy because I used to search my name. And then this literally, like, I really did not care what anyone had to say.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Because I'm so critical of myself. And Shalman, you can attest to this. Because I'm like, Shalman, oh, my God. I'm always asking for advice. I'm like critical of myself and showing me you can attest to this because I'm like show me oh my god I'll always ask him for advice I'm like now I don't care I'm like it was something to talk about whether it was you loved it you hate it you saw it so it's just like then that night I went to bed and like the next day I saw like Amber's post which I appreciated and it was just like I enjoyed it I did it for me. It was for fun. I wasn't really worried about what everyone else had to say, but it was crazy because people were like,
Starting point is 00:29:49 yo, someone's asked me for your number. I was like, they want to do a Sybil TV, isn't it? They're like, nah. I was like, oh, I'm cool. I'm cool. But yeah, it was fun. All right, we got more with Karen Sybil when we come back. We got to talk about her relationship with Nicki Minaj,
Starting point is 00:30:04 a tweet that Meek put out there, and more. But right now back, we got to talk about her relationship with Nicki Minaj. A tweet that Meek put out there and more. But right now, here's the game. It's Hit It or Love It. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Karen Civil's in the building now.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Charlamagne? I love what Nipsey's doing. I almost feel like Nipsey is sacrificing the fame he could have for entrepreneurship. It's just like he has so much he wants to do. He's definitely working on his music, and he definitely has some stuff coming out, but it's just so much business that can be done, and that's just his work ethic. If you know his brother, if you know his dad,
Starting point is 00:30:41 they just have that entrepreneurial spirit. So, you know, he's part of Destination Crenshaw right now. He's working on just so many other projects in L.A. that I can't officially talk about. But it's just, that's just him. He just, he wants to be a part of it all. So, yeah, but he definitely has the music coming out. Now, what's your relationship with Nicki Minaj?
Starting point is 00:31:02 What do you mean, per se? I guess somebody wrote an article. I think Meek Mill said you were on her payroll. It wasn't an article. It was an Instagram caption. I think XXL wrote about it, too. They got to stop. Now they're just like, Vanessa, you're paying them way too much.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Meek said that the blogs are working. You and some other blogs are working together to sabotage him. So everybody knows me and Meek had a great friendship, great relationship. And it was crazy when I woke up, I saw the at, and it was just like I saw him, you know, throw. I saw him throw the shot, and I was just like, you know, I'm not catching this right now. I'm not reacting to it. I'm not taking it in. Because you have my phone number.
Starting point is 00:31:46 If we're friends and it's a genuine situation like I always thought it was, you pick up the phone and you call me. You don't react and say these things on social media. And you're reacting off of, it was like a paid post or something that had nothing to do with me. So this isn't the first time somebody accused me of being part of a blog thing. Before it was like somebody said I being part of a blog thing. Before, somebody said I was part of a blog-a-naughty. It was like me, Angela, Boss Up, and two other sites.
Starting point is 00:32:16 I have a respect for other blogs. I don't have a problem with anyone. We all, at the end of the day, are still... It's a business. The websites, blogs, Instagrams, all these things are businesses. I don't have a problem. I'm not going to stop Meek from doing anything or be a part of trying to harm him. Anything people have been posting about him is things that he posted on his own page.
Starting point is 00:32:35 And they kind of just reposted. But, you know, I'm going to continue to just wish the best for him. I always want to see him win. I always want to see him do well. But it's an unfortunate situation. I'm in a whole new space. So it's just like, I saw it and I was like, I don't really care. We know each other's phone number and we're not doing this for social media.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Were you forced to pick a side, though? Because you were cool with Mika and Nikki and then when they broke up. I mean, I necessarily didn't feel like, you know, I had to choose a side because I've been in many instances where I have great relationships with people who may have not necessarily got along. Right. Because leave it to me, when I get married, Wayne and Busha T is in the wedding party. You know? So it's like, it's, it's. Hey, that's going to work.
Starting point is 00:33:16 No, it is going to work. You going to have a fight with your wife? No, it is going to work. Yeah, but. Yeah, I don't know if that's going to work. No, it is. But it's just like, it's certain things I didn't feel like I had to. One thing I will say is, you know, it's being misconstrued that, oh, Nikki is, like I've read, Nikki is paying her to do all of this.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I'm going to just say when it comes to the Young Money family in general, to MacMaine and Wayne, a lot of my career success I owe to them. They gave me an opportunity to start. They gave me a chance when I started my always civil enterprise business, when I went to Beats, my first book. Everything I have done, everything that has successfully happened to me, they've somehow helped make happen. So it's like even when me, Nipsey, Jorge, and Steve decided to collectively create this marathon agency.
Starting point is 00:34:07 This was sometime last year. You know, it's all new clients. It's working with new people. It's a it's a whole new marketing thing. It's no longer having my business. Nikki was one of the first people who reached out to me, asked me to come to the studio and was like, what are you working on? What are you doing? Just ask me about myself.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Just my well-being. It wasn't a he said, she said, whatever. She naturally, generally just was just, you know, wanted to progress in a business sense. So it's like we're working on things I don't even, I don't really want to even fully discuss that's bigger than social media and things like that. And I tip my hat off to her because she didn't have to do that.
Starting point is 00:34:41 She can work with so many other people. She reached out to me and I appreciate that. So, you know, Young Money family has always been incredible to me, especially Mac Mane and Wayne. What happened with this alleged confrontation with Remy? Like they say, Remy approached
Starting point is 00:34:57 you because of your relationship with Nicki? No, and it was weird when I saw the meme and, you know, I didn't think it was a big deal. And I was like, it's part of culture. So I was like, all right, it's going to be a meme. But then somebody actually called me the next day. Like, something happened with you, remember?
Starting point is 00:35:13 I was like, oh, people really believe that? It was like a little Kim fan. Like, kind of edited the photo and added certain things. And then the sites who don't like me added their two's, like probably made a story around it. So it was for Women on the Move. I sit on the board for that. We had a speaking engagement every year we do at NYU.
Starting point is 00:35:36 So they had Remy come in last minute. And we had a conversation in the hallway. We were talking about social media. And she was just like, you know, talking about different blogs and light conversation. And the next thing I know, they took this it was like 10 pictures. They took this like one thing
Starting point is 00:35:52 and they were like, oh, it was a confrontation. It was this and it was that. And I'm like, it was like a video of her saying like, you know, before she came out, we actually spoke on the phone and like tried to work, but it didn't you know it didn't manifest it didn't happen whatever the case may be but you know i don't i don't
Starting point is 00:36:10 necessarily have no issues with her no altercation yeah there was like no altercation no argument that's why i didn't like i i tweeted like all the photos and didn't think much of it and just went about my day but i just i let it i felt like it was just gonna live in social media it was like one of those things like it's a joke like people just think it's funny you, I let it, I felt like it was just going to live in social media. It was like one of those things like, it's a joke. Like, people just think it's funny. You got to just let it live. So that's just what I did. I didn't really care. You still got a passion for like hip hop? Because you do so much different stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:34 No, I do. I mean, you know, I have, I have a collective team who does the whole KarenCivil.com stuff. They're really super passionate to keep the site going. But I just have a lot of avenues and different things that I'm working on. My passion right now is to continue, you know, integrating millennials, urban culture, and luxury brands, and just premium items to just kind of just bring everything together.
Starting point is 00:37:02 The same way, you know, Hillary and Pusha T standing on the stage together. Louis Vuitton and YG. Like, all those different kind of things. Well, congratulations on all that success. Thank you. We see you grind from the bottom. Yes, thank you. And we appreciate you for stopping by. Oh, thank you so much for having me. We covered everything. Yes, this is my annual
Starting point is 00:37:19 like, I come every... You come once a year? I come once a year. We always talk beef. We always give back. That's why he said he wanted some grill. We had a thing yesterday. The chef flew in from Haiti. It was nice. It was really, really nice.
Starting point is 00:37:34 If I would have known, I would have invited you. But you don't even got on the headphones I like. Don't even know. Look at Envy. Don't look at me. Look at Envy. Direct that towards Envy. But we make something happen.
Starting point is 00:37:44 He's probably still here. Because your Louis plug will turn off real fast. Well, anyway, it's Karen Simmons with The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. The Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, over the weekend, Kodak Black was on his Instagram Live
Starting point is 00:38:09 and he was talking about what he likes and what he doesn't like. Here's what he said. Kiki Palmer, she's great. I'm bad, but you know what I'm saying? I don't really like black girls like that. So I'm sort of kind of. All right. Well, apparently people started going in on him on social media. You think? After that, some sort of kind of. All right, well,
Starting point is 00:38:26 apparently people started going in on him on social media. You think? After that, yes, after that went viral. And here's what he said as an explanation. It didn't really
Starting point is 00:38:33 work out too well. You ain't gonna be dissing me under my comment. I ain't, I ain't gonna play no one don't even comment
Starting point is 00:38:40 on my shit. Whatever, you talking about black women. Bitch, fuck you. You talking about black women. Bitch, f*** you. You know what I'm saying? I only like red bones. I love black African-Americans,
Starting point is 00:38:52 but I don't like black bitches. I like yellow hoes. So that's my preference. So mother f*** you. Terrible cleanup. I refuse to believe that black women care what Kodak Black thinks about them I can't think of any black woman that I know and communicate with on a daily basis
Starting point is 00:39:08 That is waking up this morning, having a bad day because they are not Kodak Black's preference Well, I think people just want to make sure they make it very clear That they don't want to support somebody who would say something like that I don't think that they were supporting Kodak Black to begin with, okay? Go on, chase your little red bones, then Kodak Black. The dark bones would be just fine without you, okay? Why do we say that, red bone, dark bone? We don't say dark bone.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah, no one says dark bone. Why do we say red bone? Bones ain't red. All bones are white, okay? Or beige, whatever color it is. Right, well, of course, this was definitely something that a lot of people had to comment on. I was telling you, I looked on the showroom,
Starting point is 00:39:43 it had like 19,000 comments. Yeah, because people getting upset for no damn reason. Who cares what Kodak Black thinks about you? But if anybody wants to leave a comment and say what they have to say in response to him, they're free to do so. If they're offended by it, you're free to be offended. I'm sure 95% of those comments
Starting point is 00:40:00 are Kodak Black is trash. Period. Alright, congratulations to Beyonce and Jay-Z. Their twins are out of the hospital and at home in Malibu. Mm-hmm. They were there for a week and a half after they were born,
Starting point is 00:40:12 but now, fortunately, because they were born prematurely, but now they are doing well and they'll be spending the summer at the estate, according to the Daily Mail, as they reported. I don't even sound right.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Jay-Z's kid's in Malibu. She'll be in Brooklyn. I'm about to say Mar- No, I don't even sound right. Jay-Z's kid's in Malibu. She'd be in Brooklyn. I'm about to say Marcy, not Marcy. No, I don't know. Brooklyn. Brooklyn. They still looking for a crib. They said their budget for a new crib is $75 million.
Starting point is 00:40:32 They haven't been able to find one. And they haven't been able to find one yet. That's crazy. They put in offers. They haven't gotten a house yet. Is that crazy? Yeah, because I'm sure there's so many $75 million houses in America. They can't find one in LA.
Starting point is 00:40:42 That's crazy. Drop one of the Clues bombs for the car. So they're renting a house. It's $400,000 a week. The problem is... Is that a tax write-off? Part of it, I'm sure. The real problem is the Carters want a castle. And it's not a lot of castles in America.
Starting point is 00:40:56 They're waiting for that one castle. Alright, now this was unfortunate. Justine Kish. Do you know who that is? Nope. She's a UFC fighter and while she was having her match on Sunday, she pooted on herself. Round of applause to her. Drop a person. Round of applause to her.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Did that help her? It did not. She still lost. Uh-oh. And she tweeted out, ish happens, after that video went viral yesterday as she was struggling during that match. And, yeah, she was not doing so well. She said, I'm a warrior, and I will never quit.
Starting point is 00:41:27 I'll be back soon. Whoever beat her is really good, because you imagine putting her in a dope feed and then all that smell and the diarrhea coming. Well, actually, the woman that beat her says that she doesn't want people to give her so much flack on social media because she does really like her.
Starting point is 00:41:41 And I actually Googled it, and by the way, this is not something that's never happened before during a UFC match. It has. So they actually have video footage of other people. This happens too. So I guess when people say I almost ished myself, it's a real thing. Something crazy happens. And that's hilarious because somebody beating on you and you're like, listen,
Starting point is 00:41:58 I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta go. And then they don't believe you. So they gotta, nope, nope. You're gonna have to tap out and poop out. Oh, look look at that you can see oh yeah it's all over you can see the jeans I just wonder
Starting point is 00:42:08 can you get disqualified for something like that that's funny like is that a reason to say this match is over this is not nah you tapped out that is crazy
Starting point is 00:42:17 I would use that I would use that for me I would start taking it and throwing it in my face you tapped out you tapped out and you crapped out right
Starting point is 00:42:23 alright and Spike Lee she's gotta have it we told you that that's gonna be on Netflix it's been adapted You tapped out and you crapped out. Right. All right. And Spike Lee, She's Gotta Have It. We told you that that's going to be on Netflix. It's been adapted into a television series where they have given it a release date. It's going to be all 10 episodes on Netflix on November 23rd. So if you guys want to check that out. And that movie was actually the first movie that Spike Lee directed. So it's nice that he's now.
Starting point is 00:42:42 That was back in 1986. So just imagine now it's going that he's now, that was back in 1986. So just imagine now it's going to be a series on Netflix. Now here's an update on the fight that happened between Migos and Chris Brown. I'm sure you guys saw the new footage that has emerged
Starting point is 00:42:53 of this little scuffle that happened. And they are now saying that Future was there when it happened. And DJ Khaled was there as well with his fiance and his son, Asad. And you can hear her screaming also. Just let's get out of here, get away, let's go. So that's...
Starting point is 00:43:11 I don't think you guys realize how much etiquette the Migos have. What do you mean? Like Offset, you know, was calmly rolling up his sleeves in case there was a kerfuffle when it came time to possibly put the beats on Joe Buttons. And when they was walking out of the venue after the Chris Brown scuffle, they just looked so elegant. Elegant.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Elegant. Did you say eloquent or elegant? Elegant. Elegant. Just walking around. It was kind of like floating. Just waiting for something to jump off. Now, I will say this.
Starting point is 00:43:40 According to witnesses, they said someone in Chris Brown's crew actually threw the first punch. And you can see Chris Brown didn't throw any punches or anything. And they got him out of there as well. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. I was born a donkey.
Starting point is 00:43:56 It's the donkey of the day. Donkey, donkey, donkey. Donkey, donkey, donkey. It's time for the Donkey of the Day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the Devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Yes, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, June 27th goes to John McEnroe. Now, do you know who John McEnroe is, kids? He's a 58-year-old OG in the tennis world. He's considered one of the greatest tennis players ever. And if anyone is qualified to be an authority on tennis, it's him. He's got the experience and knowledge of the game that a lot of us simply don't have. So when he tells us something about tennis,
Starting point is 00:44:31 we really have no choice but to listen. That was until his latest comments about Serena Williams. Now, I don't watch tennis. I personally think tennis is trash, okay? Outside of Venus and Serena, it's trash, just my opinion. But I have paid attention enough to know that not only is Serena Williams one of, you know, the greatest tennis
Starting point is 00:44:50 No. Serena Williams is the greatest tennis player of all time. She's one of the greatest athletes of all time, period, as well. Notice I didn't have to qualify that. I didn't say female tennis player or female athlete. Just greatest athlete of all time. Greatest tennis player of all time, period.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Well, John McEnroe doesn't agree. He was talking on NPR with Lulu Navarro, and he had this to say about Serena Williams. Best female player ever, no question. If she played the men's circuit, she'd be like 700 in the world. That doesn't mean I don't think Serena's like an incredible player. I do, but there's, you know, the reality of what would happen on a given day, Serena could beat some players, I do, but there's, you know, the reality of what would happen on a given day. Serena could beat some players, I believe, because she's so incredibly strong mentally.
Starting point is 00:45:31 But if she had to just play the circuit, the men's circuit, that would be an entirely different story. John McEnroe, really? You can't be serious, man. You cannot be serious! Now, I don't throw around the word sexist and misogynistic too often, but I'm pretty sure this is a great example of that. Okay, you're telling me that Serena Williams, the owner of 23 Grand Slam titles, a woman who has
Starting point is 00:45:54 the third highest career earnings of any tennis player, male or female, the oldest player to win a Grand Slam singles title after she won one this year back in January. I mean, I am literally holding in my hand like six pages. Okay? Six whole pages of accomplishments from Serena Williams.
Starting point is 00:46:10 It's overwhelming. In 2012, you know, Wimbledon, in her semifinals match, she hit a record 24 aces in one match. She's been associated press female athlete of the year four times. She's been WTA player of the year seven times. She's been female athlete of the year at the BET Awards 11 times.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Okay? That may mean nothing to John McEnroe, but it means something to me, damn it. All I'm trying to say is the most decorated tennis player of all time, Serena Williams, in your eyes would be ranked 700th. She had to play with the men. I had no idea there were 700 professional tennis players in the world. All right? It's more professional tennis players than it is NBA players.
Starting point is 00:46:47 But the 700th player in the world on the men's tour right now, let me put this in perspective for y'all. The 700th player in the world on the men's tour right now, how do you pronounce his name? Assam Tawil. Assam Tawil of Egypt. All right? He's 27 years old with no career titles.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Zero. You're comparing Serena Williams, who has 23 Grand Slam titles, to a man who has zero career titles. John McEnroe, cover up. Your sexism is showing. Okay, Serena Williams actually addressed this type of misogyny on Good Morning America back in December of 2016. Let's flash back to what she had to say. addressed this type of misogyny on Good Morning America back in December of 2016.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Let's flash back to what she had to say. Being a woman is just a whole new set of problems from society that you have to deal with as well. If I were a man, I would have 100% been considered the greatest ever a long time ago. And that's that, folks. It's really that simple. If Serena Williams was a man with these kind of accomplishments and accolades, she would be considered the greatest tennis player of all time. Period. Wouldn't even be close.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Okay, for John McEnroe to have the audacity, the unmitigated gall to say, at some point, a woman's tennis player can be better than anybody and outshine the males, but just not now? No. At some point, dear John, that some point you're talking about is right now, currently, the present, today. And her name is Serena Williams. Please give John McEnroe the biggest hee-haw, please. Now, of course, John McEnroe has been getting slandered relentlessly on social media, and rightfully so. But he has responded to all the backlash.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Let's hear what John McEnroe had to say, please. You ain't gonna be dissingroe had to say, please. You ain't going to be dissing me under my comment. Man, I ain't going to play no comment on my shit. Whatever. You talking about black women. Bitch, fuck you. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:48:40 I'm like black bitches. Whoa, John. Relax. Goodness gracious. Why, John? Why so harsh? Goodness gracious. All right. Thank you for John. Relax. Goodness gracious. Why, John? Why so harsh? Goodness gracious. All right.

Then, the shocker, when we stopped talking, this man literally started, as soon as she started dating my best friend that stayed across the hall from me,

And then, you know, a couple weeks after that, she told me that she had a miscarriage. Now, I don't know if she had a miscarriage or an abortion, because right after that,
Starting point is 00:53:13 she blocked me on everything. She blocked my, you know, my phone calls. She blocked my text messages, Facebook, you know, I.Z. Just after she said she had a miscarriage, she just blocked you, nothing else happened? Yeah, she just blocked me.
Starting point is 00:53:24 She was mad. Apparently, she felt like I wasn't supporting her enough. Just a simple fact that I wasn't, like, searching up, like, doing all the research about, you know, babies and stuff like that. Mind you, I already have a kid. He's seven years old. But she wanted me to, you know, like, get the apps and everything like that and tell her, like, what she should do and everything. But I was supporting her in other ways. I was supporting her, you know, like, get the apps and everything like that and tell her, like, what she should do and everything. But I was supporting her in other ways. I was supporting her, you know, financially.
Starting point is 00:53:48 I was trying to get her, you know, ice cream, whatever I could. I was trying to cook for her, you know. I was just trying to support her, you know, emotionally and mentally. She wanted me to actually, like, tell her how she should carry the baby and everything like that. Wow. So after she lost the baby, he just deleted her on everything. I need y'all to understand.

Man, look, I had proposed to this damn girl. She got me for a ring, like 10 bands, a motorcycle, my car. Put me in jail at the end of the day, man.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Trying to give me robbery cases because I had my bike and my car in her name. I spent in jail like a whole month fighting this case trying to tell them I ain't robber or nothing. This is my stuff. I just threw it out of my house because I was tired of it. She was a gold digger. I got hit by one. So wait, so you were really, really in love with her though? Sure was.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Yeah, I was really, really in love with her. I took care of her daughter. I was with her for like six years. Oh my gosh. I was with her for like nine months. How did this go so left? How did this go so left? How it go so left? She was a gold digger.
Starting point is 00:55:28 She was just really just, she was out for my money. For real. She was out for my, everybody was telling me, but I was blinded for real because I had custody of my kids
Starting point is 00:55:36 and she was holding me down. But she was only holding me down to get money. But me and my son rolled back the other day and it was so funny we rolled back
Starting point is 00:55:43 on the freeway. So she was in a white Monte Carlo and it was so dirty. It was so old. So me and my son rolled back the other day. It was so funny. We rolled back on the freeway. So she was in a white Monte Carlo. It looked so dirty. It was so old. So me and my son grabbed that. So we look at the same time because the cardboard was so slow. We go around the car. He's like, ooh, that's Chase.
Starting point is 00:55:57 I'm like, ooh, let's get away. He's like, Daddy, drop the top so she can see us. I'm like, no. Okay. Oh, my gosh. All right. Goodness gracious. Alex, come on in.
Starting point is 00:56:07 At least he got out of there. Yeah. Alex, come on in. You're from Houston. Your ex tried to hit you because what? He wanted me to get rid of the baby. He kept talking about there was no way I was going to be his first baby mama. Well, I really figured it out.
Starting point is 00:56:21 What is your Instagram? I need to see what you look like. I need to know why he didn't want you to be the first baby mama. My Instagram is, if I remember correctly, at Miss Allie Baby. Miss Allie Baby. I can tell you why he didn't want you to be the first baby mama, though. Why? Because you was the side chick.
Starting point is 00:56:37 So he had a main girl, so he couldn't get you pregnant. That's what I think. I ain't know what you think. That's what I know. He ended up marrying the girl he cheated on me with. What's his name? Avery. Well, guess what? If only, does she know what you know? That he's a cheater? I don't think
Starting point is 00:56:52 she knows. Well, she has to know because now she knows about my child because I found her on Facebook. Oh, you did have the baby. Wow. Yeah, I kept the baby. We have an almost two-year-old daughter. He's never claimed, never done anything for, but he's joined the military and won't spend the dime.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Wow. Damn, that's sad. Want to say his name again? Avery. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your name? Um, I'd rather remain anonymous.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Okay, all right. Now tell us about your ex-husband and why nobody should date him. Oh, my God. He is such a deadbeat. During the time that we were married, the only thing he ever bought our son were diapers and wipes. And then when I left and filed for support, he opened a GoFundMe account where he was put on child support.
Starting point is 00:57:34 I don't like how you said only diapers and wipes. Like diapers and wipes are not important and essential to a young baby's upbringing. They are. But he wanted to wait for people to give him gifts to clothe him. He didn't even want to buy him formula. Wow. All right. What's his name? They know him as P Breezy on the streets.
Starting point is 00:57:53 A paralegal. The streets of what? A paralegal who earned about $98,000 a year, collected $6,000 on GoFundMe. Sheesh. I'm sorry for you, Mama. That shouldn't be legal. All right, well, X-Files, there you have it. 800-585-1051.

Starting point is 00:59:04 Actually sold 106,000 in the first week, so congratulations to 2 Chainz. How much? Drop on the clues bomb for 2 Chainz. Know what you said? $106,000. Wow. Congrats. Congrats.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I haven't really gotten into the Pretty Girls love trap music album yet. I listened to like the first couple records, dope tunes. Shout out to 2 Chainz. But I haven't listened to the whole album yet. It's a great album. I'm happy for them. Shout out to 2 Chainz. Yeah, I've been working.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I'm going to get into the gym today and listen to the whole album. It's a great album. I'm happy for him. Shout out to 2 Chainz. Yeah, I've been working. I'm going to get into the gym today and listen to the album though. Now, Young Thug's Beautiful Thugger Girls sold 37,000. So both albums made the top 10. 2 Chainz was number two
Starting point is 00:59:33 and Young Thug was number eight. Big difference between 37,000 and 106,000 though. Salute to that boy 2 Chainz. All right. And 2 Chainz is age appropriate hip hop too, by the way. I know that he makes trap music, but let's not get it messed up.
Starting point is 00:59:48 He's a grown-ass adult. All right, now let's get into Mike Epps. His granddaughter actually came on stage. She's a comedian as well and performed. Here is Mike Epps introducing her. Knock, knock. Who's there? Boo.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Boo. What's going on? Boo. Boo. What's going on? Oh, yeah. You did that little routine going. I love you. Love you, too. Aw. All right, come on.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Let me go back and get you a little Hennessy. That boo-hoo joke was funny. He said she got more laughs than he did. That's funny. And then he said she also had the nerve to ask how much she's getting paid after she got off the stage. But it's funny coming from a toddler. Right, it's cute. I don't think Mike Epps could do that joke.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Yeah, an adult couldn't get that off. All right, let's talk about more jokes. Drake was hosting the NBA Awards last night. And the Most Valuable Player Award, by the way, went to Russell Westbrook, who also got the Best Dressed award as well. Now, we had some back and forth with Kenny the Jet Smith. Here is what Kenny Smith had to say about Drake. That was great material by
Starting point is 01:00:53 Drake, but we had a question. Did he write it? Drop on a clues bomb for Kenny Smith, Tammy. Now, Drake responded. Here's what he said. Kenny, somebody just told me about your writing joke backstage. It's wise words from the most expendable member of the TNT crew. Drop on the clothesline for Drake.
Starting point is 01:01:11 I mean, the tit for tat is amazing, you know, because Kenny Smith is, when I thought about it, he is the most expendable member of that show. Because you got Charles, you got Shaq, you got Ernie. He can replace Kenny. All right. Well, Drake also had jokes throughout the night. Here are some of his one-liners. We got Allen Iverson in here somewhere,
Starting point is 01:01:30 probably on a super casual vibe, just connecting with some old friends, you know? Got the Brooklyn Nets in here trying to get verified on Instagram tonight. It's a lot of blue checks coming your way, boys, I promise. I'm legit excited for y'all. Draymond Green stopped kicking people in the groin and moved on to something much worse, his own podcast.

I mean, it's the NBA Awards and he's a huge sports fan. He's done the ESPYs, he's done SNL. I'm sure he was nervous doing all of them. He's done that several times already.
